It finally happened. The people of Kaohsiung voted their mayor Han Guo-yu out of office in a historic referendum on June 6. Over 900,000 voters supported his ouster while only 25,000 were against it. Han accepted his defeat in a concession speech right after the results were announced, though he hailed the million other Kaohsiung residents who did not come out to vote, implying that that showed they were against his recall. A by-election to choose a new mayor will be held by September 12.
